Pal and Peter; Thank you for taking the time to post. And no apologies needed for the rant -- that silly part is well worth a good rant. The plastic finisher cap on my Jensen Interceptor's power antenna cracked and failed, and through the skills of friends' teenage children, they used their 3D print...

Andy;

We'e often up the Malahat that way for breakfast in Duncan, BC at The Garage. Please do let me know if you're visiting -- that would be a delight to meet up!

Hi, all; Well, I finally replaced the headliner in my 2003 X308 XJR-R1. I purchased the headliner about four years ago from a UK outfit. Cost about 200 Pounds, and about 200 Pounds to ship it to Canada. A couple of points: At the time, their site suggested you could insert the new headliner through ...

Thanks, Andy; Ah, Liverpool. My dad was a Brit and we visited from Toronto in 1969; one of our excursions took us to Liverpool. I would have just turned six, but I remember the big beach, and digging a deep hole, getting in and peeking out. Later, along walked a group of school boys in their uniform...

Hi, all; "Trac not Available" has started appearing in the message centre on the first start of the day. No lights or other messages are appearing, i.e., no ASC light or message. Happens in cool weather and in very hot weather. The battery is two years old, and there have been no events to flatten i...

Hi, all; I'm sure I saw something about these parts here recently, but cannot find the topic. On the exterior of the car, immediately forward of the mirrors, just to the rear of the door gap -- the chrome trim terminates at the base of the A Pillar. There is a piece of black plastic that inserts int...

This weekend, with the weather fine, it was time to replace the foam surround on the sub-woofer; several months ago, the sound from it became quite distorted, and it had to be set to zero to resolve. I started Saturday at 4:00 PM. I ordered two replacement foam surrounds from SperakerWorks.com in Or...

Dear David; Thank you so much for suggesting I contact the JEC suppliers for my alternator cooling duct scoop. AutoReserve had the part, and is shipping it presently. Andy answered my inquiry. He's thorough, detailed, and delivers remarkable customer service. The site is bookmarked, an account creat...

Thanks David, that's the part! I agree completely. The last time it went missing was when the dealer did an oil change; I started doing my own changes after that. This time, it was when I had all the cooling hoses replaced. I think perhaps they've decided that the piece isn't worth their time, and w...

Hi, all; I'm hoping someone can assist me with a part name or number. I went to change the oil and filter today, and found a part missing. Covering the oil filter, there is a black plastic shroud; it's about 10 inches by 5 inches. At the rear, It has a tongue that allows it to snug into what looks t...

Hi, all. Car is back from the dealer, and what a difference! Here's what they did per the order: "Mechanical fuel pressure test found no fuel pressure. Access fuel pump connector and test for power and ground to tank pumps. Power and ground present, needs fuel pump. Remove fuel tank and remove all f...

Just an update on the fuel pumps replacement. It has taken a while with the Christmas holidays -- parts delivery to the dealer was delayed. But they supplied a new Discovery, which was much appreciated. Those of us who have read the postings on the fuel-pump replacement project on the JEC Forum and ...

Thanks, David, for your post. Yes, I still love this Jag, and hope to keep it going. I just had the BBS Milan rims re-done; about 1400 Pounds for the four, but I cannot believe the improvement -- visually, and with the rims straightened. I'd never curbed them, so the chrome bands were in except shap...

Hi, all: Well, at 261,000KMs, my XJR needs a new fuel pump(s). About three weeks ago, it started, then stalled, started then stalled, started then stalled for several attempts. I went inside to look up any assistance of the Forum, then went back out and all was fine -- started up and went! But I too...

Hi, all; I've a 2003 (MY in Canada) XJR, and usually post on the X308 forum. I'm posting here under the XJ Series Saloons because I'm trying to complete my tool role on my 1975 Jensen Interceptor, and I'm three King Dick screwdrivers away from that end. I wondered if there might be some owners here ...
